Am I Evil, Am I Evil, Am I Evil, Am I Evil
If I’m a dark clown, or a sad clown, if I’m a sex clown, under arrest clown
or a silent type clown, middle of the night clown, a lets get down clown, an out of town clown
or a jealous clown, an overzealous clown, while I’m a helpless clown, while I’m a helpless clown
but not a clowns clown, not a clowns clown, not a clowns clown, not a clowns clown
Am I Civil, Am I Civil, Am I Civil, Am I Civil
If I put the seat down, watch the wolf drown, wear a wedding gown, keep a tidy lawn
stay where the lines are drawn, don’t act when I see wrong, remain a docile clown, now I’m a fossil clown
A courtesan clown, a porcelein clown, a russian doll clown, a russian doll clown
into the clown clowns, into the clown clowns, into the clown clowns, into the clown clowns
Am I Scandal, Am I Scandal, Am I Scandal, Am I Scandal
If I’m a gentleman, with the educated men, polished urchins and politicians no longer searching
with stock options, no need for working, plus I’ve got dick pix, you show me your pix
we’ll make some smartphone flix, then we’ll get down clown, with the dirty clowns, and we’ll bring kinky clowns
We’ll do clown on clown, we’ll do clown on clown, we’ll do clown on clown, we’ll do clown on clown
Am I Noble, Am I Noble, Am I Noble, Am I Noble
If I’m a savage clown, a carnivorous clown, a cut out doll clown, a let’s play house clown,
or just a trollup clown, a fancy dolled up clown, and the mousey clown, looks down your blousey clown
a Libyan clown, amphibian clown, a drinking gin clown, on a whim clown
But a clowns clown, give me a clowns clown, give me a clowns clown, give me a clowns clown
am I vengeful, am I a cheap thrill
can I be still, can I be still

I was a simple man, combiner of bushes and trees
I wanted to build a great house for my family
call it an outpost, a settlement a village, a city
this is what I chose for my destiny
as a simple man, with his simple needs
ohh, and that’s when the bears came, that’s when the bears came flooding into my town
and they were a nuisance with their foolishness and obstacles, and made me into a clown
I was brought into violence, gravestones and churches, their hides would fetch a great price
my trees became arrows, wrought steel and drank marrow, the bears blood became my vice
I declared myself pharaoh, the city unsterile, until cleansed of the ursidaec plight
the bane of my savagery, and dubious talent, the skillful traps and tricks in my hamlet caused an ongoing fight
so began my vigilant vigil with sleeper cells and secret hand signals, traitor citizens with bear collusion allegations were brought into the light
scrutinized their relations, with obscure classifications, these intelligence tactics stirred up a great fright
ohh, and that’s when the bears came….
They could bear it no more, they could bear it no more, they could bear it no more
They could bear it no more, they could bear it no more, called for my resignation
amidst cries of corruption, pointed fingers, and furious allegations
ohh, and they took up arms, set fire to the houses, demanded my abdication
but I held no mirror I saw bears I saw terror, complete was my savage transformation
ohh, and that’s when the bears came….

Honey Bee

You would come to call me your sunshine
but tonight
you’re not all there
as we look to a sky that hides the moon
and when you fall you swoon, and it’s not in your knees
where do you go when they use you and you say “please, yes, yes, yes, please”
We’ve since found the moon, we point it out and call it white
you come to me now, call me your sunshine
but you’re not all there
and this still night, while you’re in my room
in which hides the moon, and you’re on your knees
where are you now while we move and you say, “please, yes, yes, yes, please”
my sweet honey bee

Vampire

I’m coming for you, but you already know
on the threshold, you don’t say no
you take me inside and you smile
I take you in my arms, brush my lips
against your jaw, into the lover’s kiss
on the threshold, we feel alive
You say that you’ve been waiting, you wanted me this way
A hot blooded vampire, and you would be the prey
on the threshold, we feel alive
I take you inside, and we’re alive
on the threshold, and we’re alive
